Varroa jacobsoni mite. Differential interference contrast micrograph of a Varroa jacobsoni honey bee mite. This arachnid is a relatively harmless parasite of Asian honey bees (Apis cerana). It used to be thought that it was the cause of varroatosis,a parasitic disease that plagues Western honey bees (Apis mellifera). But this is now known to be caused by Varroa destructor.
